Field Configuration for One Object Per Line Chart
- This required field type supplies the category caption for the x-axis. Typically, a date field becomes the caption because line chart data is best represented over a time line. When you configure a date field as a caption, the field configuration automatically sets to .
- A numeric field can be configured as a line. One or more line fields can be included in a line chart report template. Select for the field type and then select a color.
- (Optional) Use this option to create folders when you need to group data fields that have disparate units of measure. For example, you might have a capacity value in KiB, but a performance value in Kbps. This requires two charts with different metrics scales to plot the values. In the Dynamic Template Designer, click to create a folder for each group so that each group will have its own chart. Once you create a group, every field within the template must reside within a group, so you will likely need to create additional groups that will include the remaining fields. Note that the Group functionality is used in tabular reports to create spanning headers, but in the case of line charts, it enables separate charts.
- (Optional) Enable this setting on either an object name or object ID; for example, array name or array ID. This setting creates a chart for each object, such as each array in the report scope. For Line Chart report templates, if the template includes a field of type, Group By Object, one field must have Column Break set to Yes. Typically, a field of type, Group By Object or Hidden, is used for a Column Break. This field must have unique values, such as an Array ID. Only one field can have the Column Break set to Yes.
- If a date field is configured as a caption, the Group by Date setting is automatically set. However, if more than one date field is included in the template, you must select which date field should have the setting set to .
